Today on Orkology video 8, we’re talking about one of the biggest misconceptions in Warhammer 40k lore...the idea that Ork technology “shouldn’t work.”
The truth is Ork tek does function, it’s just brutally improvised and instinct-driven engineering held together by scavenging, reverse engineering, and Ork belief just amplifying what’s already there.
I lightly break down why Ork weapons and vehicles aren’t just "pure magic", but instead reflect chaotic wartime engineering, reverse engineering understanding, and primal problem solving.
Later, I will cover the strange biological instincts built into the Orks themselves by the Old Ones.😏
